Winter Games by John Lacombe (Bloomington, Indiana: Authorhouse, 2008).

A New Hampshire man becomes embroiled in international crime and intrigue as he searches for his lost brother. "Winter Games" opens at Manchester Airport, and is set in the fictitious community of Ruston, a composite of Claremont and Lebanon, New Hampshire. Part of the story takes place at St. Paul's School in Concord. -- Author's summary.

In the frigid mountains of North Korea, trained assassins, dark geniuses, government super-agents, elite soldiers and drug kingpins are thrown together in a ferocious fight to the death. Yet even as these deadly killers circle each other in the snowy wilderness, the fate of each and every one of them may rest in the hands of a single man...

24-year-old Tim Sutton runs a humble comic book store in a small New Hampshire town. But Tim's simple life is about to be ripped from its foundation. Unbeknownst to Tim, a round of deadly Winter Games has begun. And Tim is the key player. Winter Games, the upcoming debut novel of author John Lacombe, weaves together many of today's hottest issues to form a complex, driving, relevant thriller. A brother hunts for answers. A warrior hunts for her own limits. A nation hunts for both of them. In a frosty wilderness of military cover-ups and international crime, everyone is a predator. And everyone is prey. -- Publisher's blurb.
